eide by shooting himself through the
head while in his cell in the county Jail.
Lingg ended his life by means of fulmi-
mating cap and not with revolver IS first
stated. He placed the cap in his mouth
and lit it with candle which was burn
ing In his cell. The explosion was the
first warning the jail people had. The
guard, seeing himiWith the candle in his
hand, supposed that he was lighting q
cigar. From the effects of the explosion
half OF his head was torn away. It is thus
fsr impossible to get further particulars,
as nobody but the jsil officials are al
lowed within the jail now. Ali d.y yes

How he secured the Illuminating

is mystery as his cell and clothing were
again thoroughly searched yesterday, and

bombs for the Haymsrket riot and in
whose cell the bombs were found last

LINGG' S FAREWELL ADDRESS.
Lingg's farewell address, written Tues
day night, closes as follows: "NoW,

wishes for their prosperity, close in

Yesterday when Eoglehart, the guard,
told him that the papers had published
his letter to D. D. Lum Young, the bomb
manufacturer, he expressed a strong de-
sire to read it il English. The jiiler
consented and Lingg slowly plodded
through the translation. Englehart
spesks German, and when appealed to he
gave Lingg the meaning Of the English
words in German. The doomed man said
the letter was
AN ADMIRABLE TRANSLATION
of the original. Turning to another psge
OF the paper his eye caught the line:
'Llugg will surely hang" Calling En-
gIehart he asked: "Wnat is the mesnirg
Of this word, Sure .l-y, in Gegman?"
Englehart told him, and Lingg laugh
ingly observed: $50, so; will surely
n&ng."
His manner was such that Englehsrt
Joined in the laugh.
"Say, blonde-hsired young anarchist"
called Lingg to reporter, "did you see
Mssdchen!"
H. WAS told that Eda Mueller had not
been seen, and his next query YVES, "Hss
my scha;Z (sWeet-he2rD gone to Spring
fsld?"
This question was answered in the
affirmative. He seemed pleased Snd re-
marked that if he could have seen her he
would have. told her to stay az home.
O:Niel, one OF the guards who Wa5 on
duty before, Lingg'5 cell throughout the
day, declared that Lingg was the coolest
man in Cook county jsil. He was very
pale, but his appetite WAS good and he
slept well,
EXTENT OF LINGG's WOUNDS.
Immediately after the explosion Deputy
O'Nail rushed into Lingg'5 cell, which
was completely enveloped jim smoke.
There he found the young anarchist lyiog
on his back with great holes in his head,
from which the blood was rushing in tor
rents. He was al once carried into the
ell Office and placed on table. He was
still breathing family, and while DR.. Grey
was examining him he cCughed Slightly,
and the blood poured forth again from
his terrible wounds gnd from his mouth
and nose. The physician said the pan
could only live an hour or so st most, and
ne expected him to die at any moment.
At O'Clock he was still alive.
After while Jailor Folse m2de an eX-

thought it was bomb. The noise vas
heard some distance from the jail.

from Springfield greatly en-
couragad. He is confident that the sen
tences OF at least three and probsblY ali
of the men will be committed. Mr.. Hunt,
attorney for Lingg, who has been trying
to have the young anarchist pronounced
IL ssne, appeared at Judge Bakers court

writ CT inquiry into Lingg's sanity, re-
@srdless Of the fact that Liogg YVES lying
st the point of death st that very mo

writ.
The dynamite she'll which Lingg used
was SO small IS to have allowed the
smuggling of it into the jail without
trouble. at 1915 DR.. Clay made G
further examination and found the It's

Of the jaw had been torn aWaY. He ed

alive. How the dynamite was smGggled
into the cell is not known, but is is be-
lieved there ia traitor among the death
